Start the Home Selling Process this Month
Posted by Billy Peshke on
If you’re thinking about selling in the spring, don’t wait until the new year to
start planning. In fact, you’ll save yourself a lot of work and get ahead of the
game if you start planning now.
What’s that old saying? The early bird gets the worm! In this case, by starting
the process this month, you’ll be in excellent shape when you’re ready to list in
the spring.
Here are just a few examples of what you can do in December to get the
process started:
- Walk your property and note any maintenance issues that need attention.
- Decide which items to stow or sell to declutter your home.
- Determine what improvements you’ll need to make in order for your home
to look great to buyers (i.e. painting.)
- Find out approximately how much your property will likely sell for…

Sales activity remains strong in November
Posted by Billy Peshke on
City of Calgary, December 1, 2020 –
For the sixth month in a row, sales in the Calgary market recorded a year-over-year gain.
Sales growth over the past several months has been the strongest seen in the past five years, but the activity has not been strong enough to offset the pullbacks from the spring. Year-to-date sales remain over three per cent lower than last year's levels.
New listings continue to slow, reducing inventory in the market. On a year-to-date basis, new listings have eased by nearly ten per cent and are at the lowest level recorded since 2001. This has reduced the oversupply that has been impacting the market for nearly five years.
"The gains in sales in the latter part of this year have been a bit surprising considering the…

Buying a Home that Needs Some Work
Posted by Billy Peshke on
When you’re shopping for a new home, you probably want the property to be
as “move in ready” as possible. That way, you can... well... just move in!
However, there are a lot of fantastic properties on the market that need some
work. For example, you might see a home that has everything you need, but
the kitchen is long overdue for a renovation. Or, you might view a property
that requires a lot of repairs and painting — tasks that, at first glance, seem
overwhelming.
You don’t want to just pass on a property that might be a great buy. On the
other hand, you don’t want to purchase a home, only to end up with more
renovations, repairs and expenses than you anticipated.
What’s the solution? Here’s an idea.
When you view a home that needs work, make a note of exactly…

Maintenance tips and tasks to get your home ready for winter
Posted by Billy Peshke on
Although we’ve already gotten our first doses of snow, winter is (technically) still just around the corner, with many more cold days and tons of the white stuff to come.
Unfortunately, winter is also the season that tends to reveal and worsen issues within the home, so there’s no time like the present for some proactive maintenance. A bit of extra effort now could save you countless headaches when temperatures drop.
Here’s a handy checklist to get you started:
Gutters and downspouts
Make sure they are clear of debris, as blocked gutters can lead to overflows and ice dams. It is also a good idea to check gutters for sagging sections or missing brackets and point downspouts away from your home’s foundation to reduce the risk of leaks and…

Feeling Cool about Selling in November or December?
Posted by Billy Peshke on
If you need to sell your home in the next month or two, you might be worried. After all, isn’t spring the ideal season to list your property? If you list in November or December, you might have difficulties attracting buyers and getting the best price for your home. Right?
Not necessarily.
While it’s true that spring is traditionally busy in the real estate market, properties do sell every month of the year.
So, if you’re thinking of selling, you’ll need to know two things:
· What comparable homes are selling for at this time of year.
· How long homes are taking to sell, on average.
There might be a local seller’s market this month. That would mean there are more buyers looking for homes like yours than there are…

Detached homes drive Calgary sales growth in October
Posted by Billy Peshke on
City of Calgary, November 1, 2020 –
With strong gains in the detached sector, October sales in the city reached 1,764 units. This is a 23 per cent increase over last year and well above longer-term averages.
The gain in citywide residential sales outpaced the growth in new listings, supporting tighter market conditions and improving prices.
“Over the past several years, higher lending rates and the stress test pushed many out of the detached housing market. However, recent declines in rates, combined with prices that are lower than several years ago, have brought back some of that demand,” said CREB® chief economist Ann-Marie Lurie.
“This is helping support more balanced conditions and price improvements in the market. However, price…
